Train.
Later in the afternoon Citizen Train re-
ccivcd the appended dispatch.

The Sixth Lecture.
The audience which gathered at the Expo
sition hall last evening to listen to the last
lecture of the series by Citizen George Fran
els Train was fully as large as any which has
greeted him heretofore. Contrary to his
usual custom the eminent gentleman was
somewhat tardy, but the time lost was very
soon made up. Citizen Train prefaced his
remarks by stating that he was running in
opposition to the play Of "Uncle Toms
| Cabin" which was being presented in the
west end Of the building, and according to
| his usual custom refused to speak until the
| audience had filled all the front seats When
| this had been done Chief of Police Seavey
| introduced Mr.. Train in few appropriate
remarks in which he referred to him as
| gentleman who was known throughout the
| civilized world as one of Americas greatest
and most gifted orators, and man who
| might justly claim the title Of the father of
| Nebraska
Citizen Train, who in the meantime had
hung his hat upon the floor, came to the
front of the platform and said: II am proud
am deeply gratied by being introduced to
| this audience by gentleman who is as old
| and lear friend as Chief Seavey, even if
he is the chief of police. have had great

| forgot myself as usual" Here Citizen Train
bestowed the boquets upon the reporters and
the little ones who occupied the stage. II

| speaker exhibited his "string" "Through
| these three gentlemen sitting here" (indcat-
ing the reporters), 'Ispoke last evening to the
world, net only through the papers of

Here the speaker read letter from an un-
| known lady who signed herself "your wife,"
in which the writer stated that, like Train
she was on the mountain top, and the common
| herd were at its base; that she sympathized
with the wives and children of the men who
| were to be hung. "That woman" said Citi-
zen Train, 'is my wife in her mind. Laugh
ter and applause,l l mean exactly what l
say. Renewed laughter. With this letter
came this beautiful boquet"
Mr.. Train then devoted a half hour to the
discussion of Omaha's prosperity, the in.
crease in the packing business, spoke or
parks, boulevards and free bridge, and OBJ
tanned the usual affirmative vote on each
proposition.
"Now," continued the lecturer, ''I cannot
check on any bank on the Missouri. You
know lunatic cannot give anything away.

of Windsor brunswick ck-AstorPalace build
ing, with 5000 rooms, hero in Omaha. All
who favor that say aye. The usual vote.

''Wcll, my lecture is finished, but feel as

who favor my talking little longer say aye
More ayes. Now l can cash any intel
1ectual draft on sight and any one that wishes
me to speak on any subject will confer a
| favor by mentioning it,"
Some gentleman in the audience suggested
| the national banking system, whereupon
| Citizen Train executed series of his Egyp-
| tian hieroglyphics on the blackboard to the
| great delight of his listeners save one, who
insisted that the artist was in error, where
upon Citizen Train rubbed out and began
| over again and finally convinced the gentle
man that he (TrainJ was right. The United
| States senate next received attention, and
after lengthy argument the audience by a
vote, decided to abolish that
body entirely. Ex-Secretary Manning was
| handled for few moments without
gloves, his recent illness denounced as a
fraud and his trip to Europe a pretext for
getting out of bad scrape brought about by
| the establishment of a bank in New York.
A very humorous description of an English
| banquet was the next number on the pro
